Journal #10 Logic

We should postpone the vocab assignment for many reasons. We do vocab all the time, and we just finished a test. I am not saying that we just do not want to do the assignment, but we have too much work already. It is simply too difficult to do this vocab with all of our other homework. Aside from just English, we all have other classes with just as much homework. Along with this we are also getting other homework in this class. We have to read the Declaration of Independence for homework, and we have to write another five hundred word blog on it. It is just not possible to get this blog done, and still have time to finish the vocab assignment. We have been working too hard, so we need a break from the vocab test that we just had to look at the words. We should have some time to think about the words, and then we should try to figure out what they mean without looking it up. After we have these opinions we can find the real meaning. This will give us time to do some real thinking, and learn from our mistakes. It has been scientifically proven that people learn better from mistakes than from success. If I think I know a word and I develop an idea on what it means, and then I found out it means something completely different then I will never forget the meaning. Postponing the vocab assignment would not only make me learn the vocab words at a much better success rate, but it would also allow me to do better on the next quiz. It basically just makes sense to postpone the vocab quiz. If it is not postponed we will all have more problems on the quiz and in actually learning the words. Based on all of the facts and reasons that I have stated, the vocab assignment should not have to be done until at least the next class.
